Both Amazon and Google stock will split 20 to 1

What is a stock split?

   A stock split is an action in which a company issues additional shares to shareholders, increasing the total number of shares by the specified ratio. Companies most frequently choose to split their stock to lower the price for the investors, and to increase the liquidity of trading in its shares. 

    A split does not fundamentally change the company’s value, even though the number of shares outstanding increases by a specific multiple. The most common split ratios are 2-for-1 or 3-for-1, which means that the stockholder will have two or three shares, respectively, for every share held earlier. 

    For example, if you own 1 share of any stock worth $1,000, and there was a 2-to-1 split with that stock, then you would own 2 shares that cost $500 (your total investment is still $1,000).

Why is this good?

Amazon and Google have been leading the technology sector for quite some time, and the two large powerhouse companies have only grown larger since the rise of the pandemic. AMZN and GOOG are the two most influential economic cultural forces in the world, both are listed in the Big Five American Information Technology companies.

   Investing in Amazon is unlike most other stocks because you are well diversified just from owning one single company. Amazon focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. Amazon also owns many other corporations that are completely unrelated, such as Whole Foods, IMDb, Zappos, and many more. 

For over two decades, people have relied on the ability to Google things to find answers to ANYTHING. Google morphed the way we work and learn in our everyday lives by not having to look through encyclopedias, providing a much easier and more efficient way using the internet. Google specializes in internet related services and products, including a search engine, online advertising technologies, cloud computing, software, and hardware. Google also owns many other companies such as YouTube, Fitbit, Nest, Waze, and more.

If Google and Amazon are such great stocks, then why doesn’t EVERYONE own them? After the split occurs, we predict that more investors will have both Amazon and Google in their portfolio’s because the stocks will be more affordable! Amazon and Google provide long-term growth potential and multiple expansion.  The price of Amazon as of today is $2,966.00, and the price of Google is $2,663.25. If the stock had split today, or splits at today’s price, Amazon would cost $148.30, and Google would cost $133.16 per share.
